Long-term Bias of Internal Markers in Sheep and Goat Digestion Trials [PDF]
Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2013 Two digestion trials, one with sheep and another with goats, were conducted to evaluate the long-term bias (LTB) of the indigestible dry matter (iDM), indigestible neutral detergent fiber (iNDF) and indigestible acid detergent fiber (iADF) internal ...

Acceptability by Girolando heifers and nutritional value of erect prickly pear stored for different periods [PDF]
Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2017 : The objective of this work was to evaluate the nutritional value of erect prickly pear (EPP) (Opuntia stricta), stored for different periods, and its acceptability by Girolando heifers. Five heifers were distributed in a 5x5 Latin square.

Grassland Research, EarlyView.Abstract Background Leaf shatter during low‐moisture baling and mold proliferation under high‐moisture conditions pose major challenges in alfalfa hay production. A proprietary propionic acid‐based hay preservative product, LZP, effectively inhibits microbial reproduction in high‐moisture alfalfa bales; however, its optimal moisture thresholds and ...

In vitro and in sacco determination of neutral detergent fibre digestibility of treated cereal straw
JSFA reports, EarlyView.Abstract Background Cereal straw is hardly digestible due to its complex bonds of lignin, cellulose and hemicellulose. That is why chemical treatments, such as with sodium hydroxide, may help to loosen the bonds and thus increase ruminal digestibility. Neutral detergent fibre (NDF) digestibility is a good predictor of feed intake.

Nutritional value of feed used in diets for Saanen goats
Acta Scientiarum: Animal Sciences, 2015 This study was performed to characterize feed used in diets for Saanen goats. The feedstuffs were: Tifton 85 hay (Cynodon spp.), soybean meal, ground corn, soybean hulls, ground ear corn and dried cassava residue. Contents were determined for dry matter,

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.ABSTRACT While β‐glucans from plants and yeasts have been extensively studied in weaned piglets, studies examining algae β‐glucans are scarce. Thus, the present study aimed to examine the effects of feeding algae β‐glucan in weaned piglets. Male, 21‐day‐old, weaned crossbred piglets were allotted to three experimental groups, which were fed either an ...
